I dunno about the rest of you, but I get enough junk mail as it is. I
don't see any sort of promise that the Music Industry[tm] won't
immediately sell your name and address to anyone who wants it, use the
proceeds to fund the payout, and then bury you up to your neck in "15
albums for a dollar" mailers.

But then, I collected those damn Camel Cash dollars for something like
four years before I switched to American Spirits (made from real
Indians!) and by the time I asked for the catalog (can you say scam?)
they'd already stopped offering zippos, which is all I wanted in the
first place - a dozen Camel Cash zippos.

Why are you all laughing? This is serious business :)
